How do I turn off wifi on my hp 2542 printer? I don't want to be exposed to the radiation, it's sitting on my desk in front of me. Holding the wifi button and cancell button doesn't do it.

Wireless status light and button: Blue light indicates a wireless connection. Press the button
to turn on or off the printer wireless capabilities.

 

Make sure you turn off all your neighbors wireless too.

I've pressed that wifi button, I've cursed it, I've held it down, nothing works. I'd like to turn off the neighbours wifi as well, any suggesstions (workable ones).

HP Recommended

Oh, which wireless are you talking about?? There are two.

 

From page 5...

 

3 Wireless status light and button: Blue light indicates a wireless connection. Press the button
to turn on or off the printer wireless capabilities. Press and hold the button for more than 3
seconds until light blinks to start Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) push button mode.

 

4 Wireless Direct status light and button: White light indicates the status of HP wireless direct.
Press the button to turn on or off HP wireless direct.

 

Make sure both lights are out.

Thanks, I got the lights to go out by unplugging the printer for a while and then plugging it in again.
